* homemade valentine's *

I've been excited to take full advantage of making homemade valentines now that we have our little boy :) And after seeing my awesome friend Rachel's valentines from her adorable girls to their grandparents (and realizing V-day is this Monday!) I knew I had to jump on something with Brooks!! Go see what she did here...you will die and go to Valentine Heaven ;) Their's was made on a much larger scale (if you go check it out you'll know what I mean) and with how wiggly Brooks is I knew we'd have to do something a little different...

Go here to see some other adorable ways to decorate and make creative valentine's with pictures of the people you love!

PS - I'm linking up to Whipperberry...go and see some other sweet Valentine's projects, decor, and recipes! Oh and stay a while...their site makes me want to throw the most fabulous parties all.the.time. :)

Ah my goodness! That is seriously the cutest kid valentine ever. I am totally going to do that when we have kiddos...which (crossing fingers) isn't for a little while. :) I know the g-parents will love to see them!

These are great! I want to do this with my little one this year. I'm a little confused about the little white heart cut-outs, though. Do you stick that on their hand after the paint so it leaves a white space when they make the handprint? That's what I was thinking, but for some reason it looks like there is a heart-shaped hole cut out of the handprint in the picture of the finished card.

Since this is an older post, I'm not sure you'll respond, but I have two questions. 1 How did your make the white heart in the center of the handprint? Was it a paper punch out that you pasted on, or did punch out the heart from the handprint and backed the handprint with white paper to write the message ("blowing kisses your way").

2. What did you use to attached the handprint to the card (and still have it like a flap)? It looks like you used a foam sticker.
